The Queen of the Toronto Burlesque Scene, Zyra Lee Vanity, is back for the final photoset in our Hot Stuff series!

I have to take a moment to say that besides being a gorgeous woman with incredible talent and stage presence, Zyra is also one of the sweetest ladies I have worked with. She is so fun and charming and we had such a blast putting together these photosets. I hope you enjoy them and that you all have the pleasure of seeing this fierce performer on stage!

It’s February and it feels like the winter will never end. Mountains of snow and ice are piled up in every corner, framing every sidewalk and path. Each step is delicate and calculated. Every movement is slow and steady. And I am dreaming of sandcastles…

Back in the summer of 2018 I shot some incredible photos with the magnificent team that is Khristianina and Katherine Bermudo. Sisters with an eye for design who work both independently and together to create wonderful imagery. Khristianina is the talented photographer behind Barefaced Creative and specializes in capturing moments, emotion and detail. Katherine is a phenomenal graphic artist and creative visionary who I have worked with many times and who designed this blog as well as my personal website www.missdollymonroe.com. The three of us together on a beach was the perfect combination to create something truly special!

I hope you enjoy this week’s photoset and I look forward to sharing the rest with you as the snow melts around us! Enjoy!

The stunning Zyra Lee Vanity is back this week with another beautiful look!

Zyra’s next production, Sexual Awakening Vol.3: A 90s RnB Burlesque Tribute, is taking place on February 24th at Round Venue in Toronto. She will also be taking the stage at Speakeasy at Katana for their Bon Voyage show on February 20th. You can also catch this incredible lady at Peepshow TO‘s next production, Garter’s of the Galaxy Vol 2, at The Great Hall on April 5th.

Full disclosure, I am single. For over a year now I have put my love life on the back burner for a number of reasons. That said, I have no shortage of love in my life and this week, as we celebrate the holiday of love, I want to remind everyone that romantic love is only one slice of the big love pie! I have been lucky enough to find love in so many other places, from my family, who do and have done so much for me, to my incredible, close-knit group of friends who are always there to lift up, comfort and support each other. Thank you to those truly important people in my life! This Valentine’s day it is you who I keep in my heart and send copious amounts of love to!

I hope you enjoy the final photoset from my Lady in Red Lace series, shot by the wonderful Lunar Replicant. Enjoy!

The lady in red lace is back again with some more sultry images from Lunar Replicant!

These photos were taken at the truly gorgeous studio run by Provocateur Images. They provided so many incredible sets and furniture pieces for our use and it really elevated the images and the experience for us!

Last week I gave you a little tease and this week we’re going to jump right in with part one of a brand new photoset from the incredible Lunar Replicant! These photos feature a framed photograph of my platonic boyfriend, the fabulous Leelando (photo by Quinton Cruickshanks).
